“Joe isn’t just the right person for the job. He’s the only person for the job,” she declared.
The first lady also told donors, “Anyone can tell you what they want to do, but Joe Biden can tell you what he’s done with his judgment, his experience, and his relationships with leaders across the globe.”
The first lady is trying to rally support for her husband after a dreadful performance in Thursday’s presidential debate created fresh worries about President Joe Biden’s age and his ability to compete in November’s election and to serve another four years.
The community college professor has been by her husband’s side since he exited the debate stage as he faces what could be a defining challenge of his presidency – the president says that democracy itself is on the line in his race against former president Donald Trump.
It’s a reflection of the first lady’s influence, her love for her husband and the pressure confronting an 81-year-old candidate who many voters worry is too old to serve another term as president. While Mr Trump’s wife has been noticeably absent from the campaign trail, Jill Biden has taken a leading role, wearing a dress Friday decorated with the word “Vote.”
